India has shared so much of its wonderful culture with the rest of the world, so a visit to this diverse country is a chance to experience where it all began. India has so much to offer: from the beautiful landscapes of the Himalayas, to the amazing temples and coastlines, rich culture, not to mention the food!
Although India might be famous for it's flavours, often the wildlife is forgotten about. India is home to the Asian elephant, Bengal tiger and the Indian rhinoceros. It is also a hot spot for smaller beasts such as the praying mantis.
India's music scene is beautifully crafted, and the range is quite incredible. The range of folk music spreads across the country and it is also the genre which Bangra music falls into. This is possibly the most famous music to come out of the country. Although regions have their own style of music, there are types that bring the country together as a whole. The national anthem of "Jana Gana Mana" translates as "Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people".
New Delhi, the capital is a lively place and hosts many festivals throughout the year, including the idiosyncratic International Mango Festival - where over 500 different types of mangoes are found. Mangoes are only the start of the wonderful taste India has to offer. The blend of herbs, spices and other vegetables can create the aromas known all over the world. Across the country there are different assortments that are associated with each region. In the north, milk is the main ingredient which creates the wonderful bread, and the samosa is popular here. Deep in the south is where rice dictates the main proportion of a meal. Into the east you will find the places where popular Indian desserts are from. Finally, in the west of the country, rice and coconuts are just two of the ingredients that make their dishes so distinct.
Foremost a visit to India is probably best remember by the welcome you are likely to receive this combined with the seemingly endless variety is what brings travellers returning time and time again.

Chennai (previously known as Madras) was the site of the first major settlement of the East India Company in 1639, and is now the fourth largest city in India. The town grew up around the Fort St George and along Mount Road and some interesting historic buildings can be seen here. It's true that it is busy, noisy and often extremely hot, but in many ways it is a surprisingly efficient and orderly place by Indian standards. The Government Museum is worth a visit if you're interested in the history of the city, and for Motorcycle enthusiasts the Enfield Factory tour is a must - though it only runs on certain days of the week, so check days and times before you make the journey. You might prefer to just wander the streets and soak up the atmosphere, exploring the many temples and bustling local markets.
Today we head to the bustling town of Tirupati (Approx. 145Kms). In the afternoon we will visit the holy temple. Tonight we stay in a friendly local hotel
|Approximate Cost
Visit the Sri Venkatesvara Tirumalai Temple
|Included in Kitty
In the very south of Andhra Pradesh, is the small town of Tirupati. Thousands of pilgrims flock here everyday to visit the Temple of the Lord Venkateshwara which sits above the city on the holy mount of Tirumala. So revered is this place that foreigners are sometimes asked to denounce their own faith and swear allegiance to Venkateshwara before they are allowed to enter the inner sanctum of the temple.
Leaving Tirupati, we will spend the next couple of days overlanding through Andhra Pradesh, one of the least developed states in India.
This is real off the beaten track and we will aim to cover approx 450Km today. Tonight we will find a spot to wildcamp for the night.
Today we continue driving approximately 400kms through the back roads of Andra Pradesh. Our final destination tonight is the costal town on Visakhapatnam.
Tonight we will stay in a local hotel.
Today we begin our Odisha Tribal tour; we start in a small village called Goudaguda. Beautiful earthen pottery is skillfully produced in this area and you may even get the chance to try this for yourself. On day 2 we make out way to neighboring Mali and Kondhy village returning to Goudaguda for the night. We stay in a local guesthouse for the first 2 nights which have been styled on local tribal houses.
On day 3 we drive to the lively Chatikona Market, a weekly highlight for the Dongria Kondh tribe. We then roll along the hills to Muniguda, our destination for tonight. On arrival we will be welcomed by New Hope Charitable Trust (a local NGO helping to uplift the poor and disadvantaged). We will stay in basic rooms in the grounds of the charitable trust tonight. The following morning we will spend some time with New Hope before driving to a small village called Taptapani where we stay in a local hotel for the night.
Our final 2 nights in this region include an overnight stop in the coastal town of Gopalpur where we will check out the local fish market before taking the scenic back-roads to reach our quite camping spot at Chilika Lake where we can enjoy a bamboo pole boat cruise, a local BBQ and a spectacular sunrise.
|Approximate Cost
Guided tribal village and market tour through the remote hills of Odisha.
|Included in Kitty
The hinterlands of Odisha are intensely tribal areas, home to more than 60 different tribal communities, all with their own distinct indigenous culture and traditions. Perhaps one of the most fascinating tribes are the 'Bondas',fiercely independent primitive people of Tibeto-Burmese origin. The women of this tribe wear many silver necklaces from their shoulders up to their chin and prefer to take younger husbands, so that they will have someone to earn a livelihood for them in their old age. The Paraja tribe are also particularly interesting because of the numerous Gods and Goddesses they worship, who are all said to live in the hills and forests. They also love dance and music and celebrations are also accommopanied by a lot of singing and dancing. This is a remote region, difficult to visit as a single traveller and exactly the kind of place where overlanding comes into it's own. On our overland tours we spend 4 or 5 days exploring this area.
Today our tour of the tribal areas comes to an end and we drive on to the small town of Puri. Puri is one of the holiest pilgrimage places in India and it's other main attraction is it's long sandy beach.
We will have the opportunity to circumambulate the old pilgrim route by Cycle Rickshaw taking in ashrams, Hindu monasteries, palm leaf manuscript library and the awesome Jagannath temple.
We stay in Puri for 2 nights at a comfortable local hotel.
|Approximate Cost
2 nights to relax in the lovely coastal town of Puri
|Included in Kitty
Puri is one of the oldest cities in the eastern part of India and an important destination for pilgrims, as it is considered to be one of the four holiest towns in the whole country. The huge Jagannath Temple is where the faithful head to worship, an enormous complex which is home to more than 5000 priests and helpers. Unfortunately unless you are Hindu you will not be able to enter the temple, but even from the outside, you can't help but be impressed by the sheer scale of the building. The town is also popular with local Indian holidaymakers because of it's long sandy beach and pleasant waterfront, which makes it a good spot to kick back and relax and re-charge your batteries.
Our second full day in Puri. Today begins with a cycle ride through rice paddie fields and rural hamlets meeting local craftsmen and women and watching them demonstrate their unique crafts before moving on this afternoon to the UNESCO World Heritage Konark Sun Temple where we will have a guided tour.

Overnight in Kolkata, India's most enigmatic and bewildering city
|Included in Kitty
Experience a local train ride from Puri to Kolkata.
|Included in Kitty
Kolkata is India's second biggest city and is regarded by many as the intellectual and cultural capital. At first you are assaulted by the noise and chaos of this bustling metropolis, but take the time to explore and you'll discover some impressive colonial architecture, some of the best restaurants in India and a thriving arts scene. Bengali theatre, dance, poetry, art, music and film are all showcased here, and there's usually plenty to choose from on at the cities many venues. This was the capital of colonial British India, so it's interesting to visit the Victoria Memorial. A beautiful domed white marble edifice set in tranquil gardens, the monument was built to commerorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. Kolkata is also home to the Sister's of Charity Motherhouse, the mission where Mother Teresa did much of her work. There is a small museum at the Motherhouse displaying Teresa's worn sandals and battered enamel dinner-bowl and upstairs 'Mother's room' is preserved just as it was for all the years that she slept here, a crown-of-thorns above her simple bed. Finally, if all the hustle and bustle is getting too much for you, take refuge in the beautiful botanic gardens along the banks of the Hooghly River.
Border Information: If finishing your trip in Kolkata, exit India at Kolkata Airport.
If you are continuing onto the next section today is free for you to explore Kolkata.
We intend following the planned route but exact night stops cannot be guaranteed. It sometimes happens that we decide to make a change to our basic planned itinerary. This may be for a variety of reasons - climatic, road or bureaucratic conditions may demand it. By their very nature overland itineraries need to be flexible and the regions that we are travelling through are often unpredictable. We run adventure journeys in off the beaten track areas, often in areas without western infrastructure. You should expect that some these areas do not adhere to western safety standards.
Physical preparation for Asia Itineraries
In Asia you will need to be healthy enough to cope with extremes of climates from the hot deserts through to the colds of the high mountains. Overland travelling can be demanding - long, rough travel days, dusty conditions can be challenging to some. You will need to be fit enough to help every day with the camp chores (cooking, washing up, general camp set up) as well as putting up and taking down your own tent. There are some long driving days and some early morning starts. The step up into the overland vehicle, while not overly high can become tiring and you need to judge yourself to be physically fit enough to haul yourself up and down the step at least 8-10 times a day. By and large our Asia trips have a good range of hotel accommodation mixed up with camping so that life is not too rough.
Most countries we visit on our travels will require visas. Some are best obtained before you leave home and others can be obtained en-route. Whilst the ultimate responsibility for obtaining visas is yours, we will endeavour to assist you wherever possible.
The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. The information provided is given in good faith and we do try to keep the visa information as up to date as possible. Please be aware though that rules do change, often without prior warning, which is why it is important that you check for yourself.
For visas that are needed in advance, you can choose to submit the applications directly to the relevant embassy or consulate. However, our recommendation is that you use a visa agent to assist you with your applications. While this does increase the cost, it will make the process much easier for you. Dragoman have teamed up with 'The Visa Machine' to create a safe, secure, hassle-free way of obtaining visas and visa advice. Our unique link within their website is designed to make the visa process as straightforward as possible. Simply go to https://dragoman.thevisamachine.com and click on your region of travel followed by your trip route and 'The Visa Machine' will advise you about not only the required visas but also the dates by which you should apply. 'The Visa Machine' can then assist you in the actual visa application, thus taking all the worry and hassle out of the process. This should apply for ALL nationalities and countries of residence.
As you will need to submit your passport together with your applications, we recommend that you avoid making any travel plans in the weeks leading up to your departure. However if you do need to travel in this period please let us know as soon as possible so that we can help you work out the options for your visa application process.
All foreign nationals require a tourist visa to enter India. You CANNOT obtain a visa on arrival in India - visas MUST be obtained in advance.
Indian visas can be obtained either through Travcour UK or by going directly to http://in.vfsglobal.co.uk issued in the UK are valid for 6 months from the date of issue.
You must provide either a travel itinerary or flight tickets to obtain more than a single entry visa. Your photos MUST be 50mm x 50mm or your application will be rejected. The photos must be in colour and have a plain white background. Computer generated photos will be rejected. Please paste one photo to the front of your application and leave the other loose. You must sign under the photo on page one and the declaration on page two.
Unless visiting neighbouring countries (see paragraph below), tourists leaving India will receive a stamp in their passports indicating that they may not re-enter India for two months, regardless of their length of stay prior to departure. Tourists wishing to return to India before the two month period has passed will now have to visit the Indian High Commission or Consulate in the country to which they travelled and present their case for re-entry.
The authorities in all Indian Immigration Check Posts have, however, been authorised to allow tourists to make two or three entries, based on production of an itinerary and documentation (ticket bookings) substantiating the need for tourism related travel to neighbouring countries.
You must have a passport valid for at least 6 months from date of travel and with at least two blank pages. Tourist visas cannot be extended in India.

If you are travelling on the Mumbai-Chennai leg or the Kolkata-Kathmandu leg, please send Dragoman a scan of your passport photo page when you book, as this is important for arranging train tickets on these legs.
Based on the range that previous travellers have spent on this trip, we recommend you allow between a minimum of US$15 and a maximum of US$30 per day for Central Asia, China and Burma and between a minimum of US$10 and a maximum of US$20 for India, Nepal and South East Asia.
This will cover individual expenses such as drinks, meals whilst out and also when staying in hotels, souvenirs, tips and personal permits.
Please note: For trips in Southern India that occur over Christmas and New Year please allow approximately $160USD extra on the kitty for seasonal increases in accommodation costs
At Dragoman we believe you should make the most of the places you visit, so if you would like to see more of your joining or finishing point cities, why not book additional accommodation to extend your stay. Dragoman can take away the hassle of time zones and language barriers by making the booking for you. This accommodation is only available at the joining or finishing city of your trip, immediately before or after the trip you are travelling on.
While Dragoman is happy to assist with booking your pre and post trip accommodation, it is important that you understand you may be able to book your own room at a cheaper rate directly through the hotel or on the internet. Our additional accommodation prices are based on the hotel's rate plus an administration fee. Please note our rates do not reflect last minute walk in rates or internet specials.
We can also book arrival airport transfers for you as long as we have your flight arrival details. These are normally payable in cash upon arrival, however we do have pre paid transfers in a few destinations.
Please contact our reservations team for details of the accommodation and transfers that we can offer as not all hotels offer this service.
Dragoman overland trips are designed for shared accommodation, whether camping or staying in hotels and therefore do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers will share with people of the same sex for the duration of the trip, in accommodation ranging from twin to multi-share. The type and variety of accommodation is determined by conditions on each of our routes. The campsites will range from rather basic to those with excellent facilities, including swimming pools, restaurants and bars. In some cases it may also be possible to upgrade locally to bungalows, lodges or even tree-houses. One of the highlights of overlanding is that in more remote areas we will wild camp. This allows us to get far away from the tourist crowds to some beautiful, secluded spots. On some of our trips we are able to stay in villages or local homestays, this allows us to get close to indigenous populations and ensures our money stays within local communities.
The maximum group size we take on our overland journeys ranges from 19 to 22 depending on the geographical location, however the average number of passengers is more likely to be around 16.
Please note that there is an overlap of 2 trips in Zanzibar. This means a group starting a trip in Nairobi for example will visit Zanzibar at the same time as groups starting their trips in Dar es Salaam. In practical terms this means there could be up to 44 group members in Zanzibar at the same time.
Our passengers come from around the world and are always an interesting mix of nationalities and ages. On average there is a pretty even split, males to females and between solo travellers, couples and small groups of friends. We believe that overlanding should be open to as many people as possible and so although we have a minimum age limit of 18, as long as you are fit, healthy and passionate about travel, we are happy to take you, whatever your age is. One of the beauties of group travel is the camaraderie and friendships that are formed along the way and as well as the variety of people that you will meet.
At any time before or after you book you can join our community - Dragoland. This is a great place to ask questions before you travel and catch up with your fellow travellers once your trip has finished. You can share photos, videos and stories You can also download a selection of free travel apps. See the home page to sign in, it's free and easy.
We also have a Facebook page where travellers regularly swap info with each other - you can join here
Our crew are passionate about travel and always up for adventure. It takes someone special to become a Dragoman leader. Our crew undergo the most intensive training program of all overland companies, spending 10 weeks learning the ropes at our base in Suffolk, UK and then up to six months on the road as a trainee. On all Dragoman overlanding trips two western crew who are responsible for the group and the overall organisation will accompany you. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad knowledge of the places visited and to offer suggestions of things to do and see. On trips South of Nairobi in East and Southern Africa we will also have an African camp master/cook who is in charge of running the camp and organising all of the meals. Their knowledge of the local produce makes shopping at the markets great fun and you will learn how to prepare and cook some unusual dishes. In the rest of Africa, South America and the majority of Central Asia and China we use local guides who may stay with us for just a few hours or will actually travel with us for some or all of the journey. In these cases they become a third crew member and are able to offer their local knowledge as well as a real insight into the lives of the local people.
Dragoman endeavours to provide the services of experienced crew however, due to the seasonality of travel, situations may arise where your crew is new to a particular region or training other crew.
Your tour leader has a duty of care to all of their passengers and therefore they have the authority to ask passengers to leave the trip if they require medical assistance, are behaving in an anti-social manner or refuse to comply with local laws and customs. In all matters relating to the trip, the leader's decision will be final and we appreciate your respect of this.
All Dragoman travellers need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully in our trips. When selecting your trip please make sure you have read through the itinerary carefully and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please note that if, in the opinion of our leader, any traveller is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group, Dragoman reserves the right to exclude them from all or part of the trip without a refund.
You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information prior to travel, particularly if you have a pre-existing medical condition. We also advise you to declare any pre-existing medical conditions to your travel insurers upon purchase.
For trips that travel to areas of high altitude we also require all travellers to complete an altitude questionnaire. The ratings for each trip are a good indication of how challenging they are and in some cases customers should be prepared for some long driving days and possibly limited facilities. We are always happy to give extra advice if you have additional concerns.
Recommended vaccinations and other health protection vary according to regions and recent bulletins issued by health authorities. It is essential to get the latest advice on the region(s) you are planning to travel in. It is essential that you check with either your doctor or travel clinic in good time before you travel.
In the UK we have been working with Nomad travel for many years and their website has comprehensive, up to date vaccination and health information. Dragoman customers will receive a 10% discount off all vaccinations given at Nomad Travel clinics.
A good source of up to date information is the world Health Organisation - http://www.who.int/en/
Get expert advice before travelling about types of malaria pills and take them as instructed. Recommended types do change from time to time and from area to area. Consult your vaccination centre for the most up-to-date requirements
The mosquito usually bites between the hours of dusk and dawn and so covering up by wear long-legged and long-sleeved clothing, preferably light coloured and buttoned at the wrists can help. Do not sleep without closing windows, tent doors or, if sleeping out, use a mosquito net. Wear repellent applied directly to the skin or soaked into clothing.
Treating clothes and mosquito nets with a Permetherin solution provides significant protection. It should be available at most travel stores. Mosquito coils are useful on still nights, in hotel rooms but cannot be used inside the tents.
On an overland journey you are more than just a passenger - you're part of the crew. You are expected to pitch in to set up camp, shop for food, cook and generally help out. As part of your trip you will be assigned a truck job which could be collecting water and firewood, sweeping out the truck, loading the back locker, etc.
While camping on overland journeys, all meals are included in the kitty. This means that you will have to work together to cook for everyone in your group. You will be divided into smaller units of 3-4 people and take it in turns to cook for the whole group according to a rota system. When it is your turn to cook you will have to plan the meal, shop for the ingredients in local markets or supermarkets and then prepare the meal for the whole group. The secret to cooking for 20+ people in a basic camping kitchen is to keep it simple! (On trips south of Nairobi we have a cook on board the truck; however you will still be required to help prepare meals).
If you have any dietary requirements please tell us at the time of booking and also remind your crew at your welcome meeting. An example of a typical camp breakfast might be toast with spreads, fruit and cereal as well as tea and coffee. When time allows it will also be possible to serve something hot such as eggs or pancakes. Lunch is almost always a sandwich heaped high with healthy salad and assorted fillings, with fruit to follow. Dinner might be a BBQ, risotto or pasta dish and there is always the chance to try some local cooking. Generally our passengers find the more they put into a trip, the more they benefit from it.
Dragoman is committed to ensuring that we have a positive impact on local communities and that we implement policies to minimise any negative impact on the local environment. We are dedicated to making sure that we adopt a responsible attitude to the areas through which we travel and believe that our trips should benefit the local people and their environment. Dragoman recognises that we are guests of local communities and strive to make these communities our partners, so that they benefit directly from our visit. You can find full details of Dragoman's responsible tourism policy linked from the home page.
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on our trips. Possessing or using drugs is not only against the law, but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for Dragoman customers. It is one of our core values to treat all people we encounter with respect which of course includes all the local people who make our destinations so special. The exploitation of prostitutes or children is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes or abuse children. Equally Dragoman will not tolerate any violence or threat of violence towards local people, other group members or any member of our staff.
We expect all our customers to obey all the laws of the countries through which we pass. This particularly applies to the smuggling of contraband and possession of narcotic drugs (as above), firearms, antiquities and ivory.
Any customer found contravening such laws or customs will be required to leave the trip immediately with no refund of the trip price.
One of the real advantages of overland travel is that the vehicle provides a very real level of security when travelling. There is no doubt that a properly equipped overland vehicle, with safes, fully lockable doors and windows is an obvious advantage when travelling in much of the world. We recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt whilst travelling for the safe-keeping of your passport, air tickets, cash and other valuable items (although most of these can be locked in the safe whilst you are on the trip) and advise passengers to leave any valuable jewellery, watches etc at home. Generally speaking, you will not be travelling on local public transport and will have the added security of travelling in a group with experienced crew on hand to offer advice.
Please note: Any personal effects that are left on the truck, even if they are stored in the safe, are left at your own risk and Dragoman cannot be held responsible for any damage or theft that may occur.
The safety of our passengers, leaders and operators is a major priority of Dragoman. With this in mind we monitor world events very closely. By the very nature of the adventure travel that we take, there are risks and hazards that are inherent in our itineraries. Dragoman makes operational decisions based on informed advice from a number of sources:
The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office travel advice
Reports from other travel companies and local suppliers
Leaders reports from off the road
Local contacts we have built up over 31 years of experience
Dragoman has also teamed up with the UK Foreign and commonwealth office (FCO) in their 'Know before you go campaign' www.gov.uk/knowbeforeyougo. This website offers straightforward travel advice, top tips, and up to date country information to help you plan a safe trip.
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. You should always make yourself aware of the travel advice before you book and again before you travel. Below are links to some of the websites
Britain. http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-living-overseas/travel-advice-by-country
Australia. http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/

Dragoman has comprehensive passenger liability protection and tour operator insurance. These policies have total indemnities of £3,000,000 and £10,000,000 respectively. This is in addition to local vehicle insurance and your personal travel insurance.
We have a dedicated 24 hour telephone number which should only be used once you have left the UK and in the event of a real emergency. Should you need to call the number, we will do what we can to help but please bear in mind that real progress or action may not be possible until normal office hours.
If your flight is delayed or cancelled, please let us know and then make your way to the joining hotel as instructed in theses trip notes. If you cannot get through leave a message and a contact number as these will be regularly checked and the crew informed if necessary.
Emergency Number: +44 (0) 7985106564.
It is a condition of booking that you have comprehensive travel insurance. Without evidence of valid travel insurance you will not be allowed to start the trip.
Whatever policy you choose, you must ensure that it is designed for adventure/overland travel. As such it must cover you for adventure activities such as white water rafting, trekking, horse-riding and that the 24 Hour Emergency Assistance Company must be experienced in handling situations in developing countries – for example they have the ability to arrange repatriation from remote areas such as the Sahara or if you were trekking in the Andes. Please double check if you have annual travel and/or credit card policies to ensure they have the cover you require, as many of these policies are not able to cope with adventure travel to remote areas. We recommend that any policy has the following minimum levels of cover: Medical (incl. repatriation) £5,000,000 Personal Liability £5,000,000 Cancellation and Curtailment £5,000 Loss of Baggage, personal effects, money and other inclusions are down to personal choice.
While we always endeavour to provide the best possible holiday experience, due to the nature of travel and the areas we visit sometimes things can and do go wrong. Should any issue occur while you are on your trip it is imperative that you discuss this with your group leader or our local partner straight away so that they can do their best to rectify the problem and save any potential negative impact on the rest of your trip.
We recognise that there may be times when your group leader may not be able to resolve a situation to your satisfaction. If this is the case please contact our customer relations department on email@example.com. You may also choose to provide details in your feedback questionnaire which we ask you to complete at the end of your trip but we do ask you to be aware that it is very difficult for us to provide any practical help after the trip is complete.
Check that your passport will still be valid for 6 months after the end of the trip - this is important as some countries WILL refuse entry to anyone whose passport is due to expire. A temporary or "visitor's" passport is not valid on our trips. You will need to provide us with your passport details prior to departing for you trip. If you change your passport please remember to inform us.
Although you will not have to carry your main bag long distances you will need to help load and unload them onto the truck. For this reason we recommend that you use a backpack or soft bag rather than a heavy suitcase. During your trip your main luggage will be kept in the back locker so you will also need a small daypack. This can be used to carry your camera, water bottle and other personal effects for daily use.
The size of baggage that can be brought on this tour is limited by the locker space on the truck. Different trucks have different-sized lockers however to be safe we recommend that your bag be no larger than 66cm deep, 30cm wide, and 30cm high. The weight limit for luggage on all trucks is maximum 20kg. Backpacks should not have an external frame unless it can be easily removed and stored separately to avoid damaging other people's luggage.
Your clothes and equipment should be appropriate for the conditions you are travelling in. On overland trips Dragoman will provide all camping equipment apart from sleeping bags and ground mats (except on routes between Nairobi and Cape Town where ground mats are provided).
The clothes and equipment should be appropriate for the conditions you are travelling in, which will vary depending on which part of the world you're heading to. On overland trips Dragoman will provide all camping equipment apart from sleeping bags and ground mats*, so you'll need to bring those with you. Think about the climate and altitude of the areas you'll be travelling to, there's nothing worse than being cold at night so it's worth investing in a decent sleeping bag if it's likely to get cold. And remember even when it's warm during the day, it can often get cold at night, particularly in desert regions.
IMPORTANT: Ground mats are provided on all of our overland trips that run in South and East Africa, between Nairobi and Cape Town. This includes our Family trips between Nairobi and Cape Town.

The sale of bottled water contributes to an enormous environmental problem around the world. In addition to the water in bottles, the production of a 1 litre plastic bottle takes 2 litres of water and 200ml of oil. A large proportion end up in limited landfill or discarded in waterways and natural environments.
Please avoid the purchase of bottled water by using the chemically sterilized water stored in the purpose built storage tank or in water jerry cans in your Overland vehicle. You are free to refill your bottle as many times a day as you like. You are helping the environment and your hip pocket!
All of our trucks have a fully stocked medical kit onboard for use in emergency situations only. Therefore in addition to this we recommend that you purchase your own personal medical kit. In the UK we have teamed up with Nomad Travel Stores and Clinics to produce the Dragoman Travel Medical Kit. It has been designed in conjunction with the truck kits and contains everything you would need for any minor accidents. For more details please visit their website:
Your vehicle will be equipped with a 12 volt socket so to charge your iPod, MP3 player, camera, laptop and mobile phone you will need a DC 12 volt adapter - the type that can be used from a cigarette lighter in your car. Please be aware that only one piece of equipment can be charged at a time and it will not be allowed if there is a risk of running the vehicle's batteries low. Batteries may also be recharged from hotel room wall sockets and the majority of the campsites we stay at have electricity points so please bring along your normal charging adapters as well. You will need to ensure that you have the correct country adaptor for your specific charger.
For mobile phones, please note that most countries in the Americas operate at 850MHz and 1900 MHz which is not the same frequencies used in Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia. Most modern tri-band and quad-band mobile phones will be able to operate on these frequencies but please check your mobile phone specifications before travelling to ensure that you'll be able to use your phone in the Americas.
In addition to the trip price on our overlanding trips you will also be required to pay a kitty specified for your trip. The kitty is payable in instalments at the start of each section of the trip for combination trips, and in full at the start of the trip for individual trips. Each customer joining a trip pays their kitty into a central fund. The fund is managed by the Dragoman crew & kitty accounts can be viewed by all throughout the trip.
The Kitty covers all things that the whole group does, such as:
The kitty system is very unique to overlanding and we believe it allows us to have flexibility & transparency on our trips. You can see exactly how your money is being spent and ensure that you are getting the best value by buying locally. It also helps to keep the costs competitive & save on administration costs so that we can pass the saving on to you. Dragoman makes NO PROFIT on kitties as they are the group's fund.
We constantly update the kitty prices on our website and the kitty advertised in the brochure is an estimate at the time of printing. Prices can go up or down with no notice and exchange rate fluctuations will affect costs. If there is money left in the kitty at the end of your trip then this is divided between the group and you receive a refund. Once you book your trip it is very important that you check our website on a regular basis and just before departure for any changes to the kitty amount.
At least half of your kitty should be paid in cash in the specified currency on the website (US Dollars or Euros in West Africa). The outstanding amount can be paid in local currency during your trip; your leader will give you the exchange rate. Most of our travellers choose to bring a cash passport with them for withdrawing local currency (you can visit www.cashpassport.com for further information on these). This is a very secure way of carrying your money whilst travelling. You treat them exactly like an ATM card and draw out local currency from an ATM to give to your leader within each country.
Travellers cheques have become increasingly difficult to change around the world with passengers and our leaders experiencing huge frustration and numerous hours spent trying to find a bank which will change travellers cheques. For this reason we no longer accept them on our trips.
Sometimes, civil or political unrest, or reasons beyond Dragoman's control (e.g. a natural disaster), can mean that an itinerary is disrupted and we have to make a contingency plan. This may involve hiring alternate transport or even the whole group flying over an area. Although Dragoman will help organise travel arrangements, in circumstances outside Dragoman's control you should be prepared to contribute towards the costs and therefore we ask you to bring along a 'Contingency Fund' of USD400. In almost all cases trips run smoothly and this fund is therefore never used. We also recommend that you take along an internationally recognised credit or charge card with a decent limit in case of emergencies, such as medical treatment en route, or even the need to be repatriated; though these occurrences are rare. Remember that travel insurance policies usually only refund you for expenses after you have already paid out.
Tipping is entirely voluntary. The Dragoman crew may be travelling with you for many weeks and usually they become good friends with most members of the group. It is sometimes easy to forget that they do work hard to ensure that you do have a great trip. If you feel you would like to tip them, they certainly would appreciate it. On a number of our trips, we also use a local guide as well as our own Dragoman crew. These guides live and travel with you through their home country and it is usual to tip them when they leave. We recommend USD10 to USD15 per person.

We have the constitutional right to keep and bear arms as well as overthrow a tyrannical government which would be impossible to do if we had no weapons. Why do you suppose those countries with dictators forbid it's citizens to own firearms? If the riots in England become more viscous and wide spread how long do you think it will be before England sets its armed military upon it's own citizens?

Kay has released a psychedelic video for her latest track Whatever, an anthem for those who find themselves disillusioned their 9-5 job. The Canadian singer gives her East Coast roots a shout out in the video, referencing Halifax in the songs lyrics. Spending most of the video solo, Kay is making use of green screens, with brightly coloured graphics working as her background.
Kay's only outdoors scene is shot on campus at the University of Toronto, a backdrop made famous by Joshua Jackson's film The Skulls and Drake's music video for The Motto. The singer performs on top of a bunch of balloons, floating above a little girls' head. It unfortunately doesn't flow with the rest of the video, but Kay's high energy performance makes it work.

Coroner identifies suspected Victorville I-15 jumper
Second suspected jumper taken into custody Monday in Hesperia
VICTORVILLE • Gerald Thomas Cannon was identified as the man suspected of committing suicide by jumping off the Bear Valley Road bridge onto Interstate 15 Sunday night, authorities said.
Less than 24 hours after Cannon was pronounced dead, another man threatening to jump off the Main Street bridge onto the southbound lanes of I-15 was taken into custody by Hesperia San Bernardino County sheriff's officials Monday afternoon, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP received calls from passing motorists of an unknown object blocking a southbound lane just north of Bear Valley Road at about 8:40 p.m. Sunday. Officers discovered that the object was a body with multiple traumatic injuries.
Several witnesses gave their accounts to investigators, CHP spokesman Matt Hunt said, but he didn't know if any of the witnesses had hit the body with their vehicles.
"Evidence indicated it was a possible suicide," Hunt said Monday.
Hunt said Cannon may have jumped off the bridge.
"That's what we are suspecting, but it's unconfirmed," Hunt said. "It's an unfortunate incident."
Cannon was a 33-year-old Hesperia resident, according to Deputy Mark Johnson of the sheriff's coroner's division. It was unclear how many times Cannon had been hit by vehicles, Hunt said.
The I-15 south was closed from Bear Valley Road to Palmdale Road for about an hour Sunday night as authorities cleaned up the scene, Hunt said.
The second suspected jumper was reported standing on the outside of the fence on the Main Street bridge at 3:20 p.m. Monday. The male was described as wearing a light-colored hoodie with stripes and dark pants, the CHP reported. He was taken into custody within 30 minutes of the initial call with little impact on freeway traffic.
The CHP and Sheriff's Department are still investigating the case, according to Hunt.

Getting a rifle from Phoenix to Windhoek
I'm a first time "poster"
I'm taking my son to Africa this coming June 22 as part of a family adventure trip.
Trip includes: Climbing Kilimanjaro- followed by safari followed by hunting
My son and I fly Nairobi to Windhoek for 7days of hunting plains game while the rest of the family heads home. He would love to take his 7mm along but with multiple flights and stopovers in London, its seems almost an impossible task or at least cost prohibitive.
Is there anyway to ship a rifle Phoenix- Windhoek- Phoenix thru bonded carrier?
If not, we have already reserved a rifle with the outfitter.
He also plan to take his hunting bow which shouldn't be a problem, I hope

i have no experience of this, but as you wouldnt be accompanying the rifle it would have to go as freight, and i think that would open up a serious amount of paper work that wouldnt justify even trying to go this route. i would enjoy the whole trip and rent a rifle for the hunt.

Hi Harry,
I know someone here will be able to help you with your query. I'm not experienced with international rifle courier, sorry I can't help.
Is it your first time to Kilimajaro? I climbed in 2001. Main thing is not to underestimate the advice of the guides. We were 5 in our group only 3 made it to summit(Uhuru Peak). Myself, my dad, my uncle. The other 2 who never made it tried to rush up there, smoked cigs while they walked, never rested properly, never drank enough water, tried to be macho and it worked right up until summit day, after an hour on summit trail they were completely drained, one got sick, they turned back. So, when the guide says "relax", just listen, drink your water, take it easy and take in the scenery its beautiful and you hit a different biome every day, really something special. First day is a shock to the system, last few hundred meters is harder than anything you can imagine, no air no energy, you start counting footsteps instead of meters, mental game... Nothing beats the feeling of summiting, at the time it may even seem like an anti-climax. But its the greatest thing I have ever accomplished, standing on top of Africa for 5 minutes...
If u haven't done it before then I assure you this is one of the best holiday investments you will ever make! If u have done it before then you know what I'm talking about.

You won't get any air carrier to take your rifle through London. My friend tried it 2 months ago and couldn't make it work. No carrier is willing to try it with the fines imposed by GB if ALL the correct paper work is not done perfectly.
I've done 5 safaris and have never heard of a courier service. I don't thin guns can be released to anyone but the owner. Use the search function here on Jamy Traut Safaris for my recent hunt report in Namibia.
Sounds like a great trip. Just use the PHs rifles a save yourself a lot of headaches.

Welcome to AH rolycat2.
The restrictions are onerous to say the least.
In RSA we used a licensed (Firearms Storage and Transport) to store and transport our firearms during the touring portion of the trip.
He provided the cheapest safest alternative.
I can only suggest that you speak with him and he might have suggestions of who could pull it off for you.

As you already suspect, I'll bet renting a rifle will be the easiest and certainly the cheapest solution for you.
Good luck on your hunt.
I look forward to your hunting report and pictures.Practice whispering before you leave for Africa!

Thanks Spike, Clifty and Stephano for the excellent advice...I think I'll stick with the renting the rifle from the outfitter.
Thanks Rohan for the good climbing advice...I'll leave the ego at home
I'll post hunting pics when we get back (if Ben is ok with it, He's the hunter I'm just facilitator of good memories )

Mary Jane, Wow-thats why the little things are bothering you-you have been worried and stressed over your sister. I knew there had to be something else that was really bothering you-Thank you for sharing that, I'm sure it was hard, but sometimes you need to talk. Thats great that she stood-even if it was only briefly. If you need to talk, I am here. I just got home from the ER because a good friend of mine with bi-polar disorder or just major depression- called me and told me she took 9 xanax! So I drove her to the hospital. I am just glad she called. We all need someone to talk to. Take care & keep in touch and updated on your sister.

Traditionally, the year end is a time for reflection and for recognizing the blessings in our lives. In my reflections, I recognize once again, how blessed we at the Telluride Historical Museum are to have the support of this incredible community. I am struck by the many ways in which this generosity is demonstrated.
The museum has a board of directors, for instance, which not only recognizes the importance of keeping our history alive, but is willing to work hard to do so. We also have an incredible group of volunteers who help us with everything: cleaning, construction, research, greeting our visitors as docents and a host of other activities. Our volunteer staff is a broad cross-section of the community and we couldn't exist without them.
We have the support of organizations in town including the Telluride Foundation, the Telluride Council for the Arts and Humanities, the towns of Telluride and the Mountain Village, the Mountain Village Owners Association, San Miguel County, Region 10 for Economic Development, The Daily Planet, The Telluride Watch, Clark's Market, and merchants and organizations like Pinhead Institute, Telluride Community Television, Ron Brumley, Plum TV, Ice Design, Camels Garden, Telluride Maps, and ResortQuest who often donate in-kind services as well.
Of course we could not exist without our many members. Membership has steadily increased since the restoration and the installation of the new interpretive exhibits. The list of capital donors who supported the exhibits project is long as well. I cannot forget to thank Assistant Director and Director of Programming and Outreach Sonchia Jilek whose efforts have launched a new era in educational outreach, and without whose help we could not have offered such a full calendar of events this past year. Thank you also to Deb Barr and Roberta Doser our present and past Visitor Services Coordinators.
Finally, we wish to thank the creative and generous way in which Dick DePagter and Telluride Real Estate Brokers continues to bring attention to the museum through the distribution of the Community Calendar celebrating our regional history, and encouraging those who pick up the treasure to pass on their appreciation by supporting the Museum.
I am so grateful for this generous community's support of the Telluride Historical Museum, and so grateful for the opportunity to say so. Please visit soon.
– Lauren Bloemsma, Executive Director, Telluride Historical Museum
KOTO and
Ski Patrol Help Ski PE
In this season of generosity, we would like the community to know about the giving spirit of two of Telluride's most-treasured institutions: KOTO Radio and the Telluride Ski Patrol. Each of these organizations has again given over $1,000 to the Ski PE Scholarship Fund of the Telluride Public Schools. While the District commits considerable funding to assist low-income families with the costs of Ski PE, we could not meet all of the need without the additional contributions from KOTO and Ski Patrol.
The Ski Patrol creates T-shirts each season which they sell solely to raise money for the kids of Telluride. In addition to the donation for Ski PE, they award a scholarship (or several) each June at graduation. This assistance in paying for the first year of college is tremendous. The care and support of the Ski Patrol extends far beyond our students' well being on the mountain. Ski Patrol promotes the life long success of our kids.
KOTO, which works hard to raise money for their own operation, donates money, time and equipment to our skiers and snowboarders every year. The entire proceeds of the "After the Swap Swap" are given to the Ski PE fund. Further, Janice invites us to bring students to the swap in order to select equipment, gloves, clothing, and whatever else they need. She and other volunteers spend time helping those unfamiliar with the sport figure out what they need to get started. It is wonderful!
We hope that everyone realizes that when they buy a Ski Patrol T-shirt or make a donation to KOTO they are in turn helping the students of the Telluride School District. Heartfelt thanks to KOTO and the Ski Patrol, and happy holidays to all of you.
– Lisa Andrews and Sara Taylor, Ski PE Coordinators
'We Are Very Fortunate'
At approximately 9 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 2, the Telluride volunteer EMS and Fire department was paged to a motor vehicle accident when a mid size SUV carrying four adults collided head-on with a semi truck at a high rate of speed on highway 145 near the Ophir turns. I arrived on the scene approximately eight minutes later to find four patients, three with critical injuries. Bystanders on the scene, who were sharing the highway that morning had already administered essential first aid, covered the patients with blankets and helped stop traffic. Within minutes three local ambulances had arrived. Four paramedics, three of whom were off duty, an off duty Telluride emergency medicine physician, multiple EMTs, fireman and TFPD personal as well as on duty and off duty sheriff's deputies responded in short order. Accompanying the EMTs in the ambulances when they departed were three out-of-town bystanders who left their personal vehicles and offered their time to interpret for the non English speaking patients. Two med-evac helicopters, one from Durango and one from Grand Junction were in the air and en route to Telluride within twenty minutes. Two patients were air lifted to Grand Junction from the Telluride airport. A third patient was flown to Durango from a landing zone that was set up at the Matterhorn campground. The fourth patient was received by the Telluride Medical Center. Considering the size of our community and our rural location this level of response is extraordinary. Most of the individuals on-scene were volunteers who spend a great deal of time training and responding to emergency calls throughout the year. The Telluride Medical Center maintains an ED with full time staff of Emergency Medicine physicians, nurses, and technicians whom are available twenty four hours a day. We are very fortunate to live in a community where people care with this level of devotion. Each time over the years that I have responded to a call like this it has restored and strengthened my faith in the group of people who have made this valley their home.
– Bill Ellison, EMT B
Good Deeds Take Some of the Sting Out of Rickie Lee Cancellation
I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of myself, and Mountain Groove Productions, to thank all those that made the cancellation of the Rickie Lee Jones concert, less painful. It's good to know Telluride still has the heart and spirit that makes it the great place it is. I would really like to thank Telluride Tickets, Pam and Lisa, for all the hard work they did to help us leading up to the event that didn't happen, and then the follow up afterwards. The Palm Theatre and Joanne Evans have been very supportive, as well as the Telluride Watch. Thank goodness for KOTO, who kept the community informed and most of all, thanks to all of you who purchased tickets, for being so kind in the cancellation of the concert. I only wish Telluride had gotten more of the snow that prevented Rickie Lee from making it! Happy New Year.

More on the Flag
Thanks, Art Goodtimes, for your comments in last week's column, "Up Bear Creek," about the flag's appearance on the Ski School uniforms. However proper your comments about commercialism and its relationship to some of today's uses of the flag may be, they were not my reasons for removal of the flag from my uniform. For me to wear the flag in times as these would be a sign of blind allegiance with this country's present administration, its current direction of hegemony via a brutal foreign policy; and its domestic policy that is shredding the fabric of our democracy.
I would be proud to replace the flag on my uniform if Congress were to do one courageous act. An act, that if they respected the founding fathers, the Constitution and their oath to defend it, should seem to them an obligation and an honor, that is, to bring articles of impeachment against the President and Vice-President. The reasons for impeachment can easily be summarized to a short list: Conspiracy to defraud congress concerning Iraq, Condoning and facilitating torture, and illegal wiretapping of the American public. Each one an impeachable act. But most importantly Congress should enact impeachment proceedings because it is their duty to protect our constitution.
We cannot allow our leaders to act with impunity. They must be held accountable for their acts while in office, and if their misdeeds or crimes warrant it, criminal prosecution after they leave office. No one should be above the law.
If we do not use our Constitution what's the point of waving a flag that represents it? Our Constitution and the Bill of Rights are what makes America America, not a piece of cloth! I suggest that we forget the symbol for the time being and start remembering the real America, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the people that they represent and protect.
Oh and by the way, your freedom of speech? Don't take it for granted for there are those among us who would take it from you if they could. Maybe it¹s your government that establishes "free speech zones" at political events so protesters can be corralled miles away out of sight and out of mind, or maybe it's an employer that threatens and intimidates you, or maybe simply a group of your peers. Speak out if you have a mind to, while you still can. Our democracy may well depend on you.
To those who would stifle freedom of speech: I ask you to consider your actions most carefully and hopefully come to understand what great harm they do to us and our republic.
– David Glynn

must be repaid, with interest, just like car loans and home mortgages.
You cannot have these loans canceled because you didn't like the
education you received, didn't get a job in your field of study or
because you're having financial difficulty. Loans are legal
obligations that you'll have to repay.
